The Government of South Africa is pleased to announce the launch of the Independent Transmission Projects (ITP) market sounding exercise or request for information (RFI), a key initiative to transform the country's energy and infrastructure sectors. This is the first step towards the launch of the ITP pilot tender planned in 2025.
The RFI exercise seeks to gather insights on the market's interest, capabilities, and potential solutions for accelerating transmission infrastructure development. The RFI will assist in the design of an effective procurement framework, inform the development of regulatory instruments, and guide the preparation of the tender documents.
The RFI exercise is open to all interested parties, including private developers, financiers, Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), contractors and other interested stakeholders. Responses to the RFI will play a critical role in shaping the final structure of the tender and the successful implementation of the ITP programme.
This ITP process aims to unlock substantial investment in transmission infrastructure, which is crucial for supporting economic growth, attracting private sector participation, and driving innovation in the energy sector.
Interested stakeholders are invited to submit their RFI responses from 12 December 2024 to 28 February 2025. Full details of the RFI process, including instructions on how to submit responses, will be available by visiting www.ipp-projects.co.za and clicking the link provided.
